The Douane (French customs) came on board, well armed, asking me if I had any weapons. I responded "Only these two bare hands, both lethal." They took a step back ... then I snapped out of my day dream.
After a check of the ship's papers and passports they left empty handed.
Bastia berth was not that pleasant due to proximity to marina entrance hence a rolling night's sleep (no rocking!). We tried to locate Jacqueline, the Senegalese waitress Jude and I befriended last year but she no longer worked at the bar.
A couple of pix from Elba attached, re the Lido restaurant. Excellent food and great local Corsican wine.
